“ In need of a spruce up and fast ”

Fairly centrally located, easy walking distance from the Greyhound bus terminal and shopping malls within easy walking distance too. Building is quite dated, apartments are reasonably well appointed but could really do with a good scrub and updating of cooking utensils. Bed was uncomfortable, very old and visibly saggy - the bed that is - and really shouldn't still be in use. For the money paid expected better quality and standard so dont feel hotel represents value for money.

Big plus-Very nice accommodation and well situated.
One thing we found odd and the first time we have come across this is even though you are paying for accommodation they also charge you $15 a day for parking your vehicle which is a big minus for us.
The restaurant is run separately to the hotel but is still combined and we have to say that our first impression was not good. The girl serving (who turned out to be the manager) was rude and cold but she did do a good job. We both ordered Eggs Benedict, 1 with bacon, 1 with salmon. We were the first in and only people ordering off of the menu yet had to wait for ages for our meals. When they came out the muffins were not toasted, the eggs were over done and had been cooked using too much vinegar and the hollandaise sauce was the packet kind and was tasteless.
In saying this all the other staff were great, the coffee was lovely and the other food we had was ok.

Leaving the Blue Mountains with sadness, an extra day there would have been nice but not to be as we were already booked on the Greyhound bus to Canberra, the capital of Australia. Now, many people we’d spoken to on our travels had said ‘oh don’t bother with Canberra, nothing to see, no character, just another city…… …

... 2 hours of the '3 sisters' before we decided to stop for the night in a free camp with hot showers!! We pulled over, made some dinner in the van, enjoyed long showers then settled down to read our books and watch a film as the place was pretty quiet except for passing traffic!! We are looking forward to getting on the main travellers trail tomorrow and hopefully meeting other campers along the way but for tonight we are enjoying our cup of tea and perhaps a glass or 2 of wine!! ...

Not quite as cold today so we wrap up warm and head towards Commonwealth Ave in Canberra and join the queue of cars trying to find somewhere to park, to visit Floriade. It is at times like this that having a 4 wheel drive ute is very helpful as we were able to park up on a rugged grass area behind a carpark. Floriade is Australia's biggest celebration ...

... of its way to ensure the spiritual element of Australia and its aboriginal roots linked Canberra together. After some confusion with the receptionist with what times the tour was starting and where, we eventually joined one other family and began our tour around the museum. The exhibitions mainly looked at the people, events and issues that have shaped Australia through sharing these stories and to promote debate. The tour was fun and to the point, showing us the best bits ...
